Baby's 4-Month Visit to the Doctor

I was worried about a rash (so I thought) so I took Jace to the doctor yesterday. He had a scheduled visit May 14, but I was of course a worrywart. Turns out he has extremly dry skin in some patches. I have a cream for him to apply and it works but if I forget just one time the dry skin comes back. So much to know about being a mommy. I thought it was ringworm or something.

So the good news is stripped down to his birthday suit Jace is 17 pounds even and 26 1/4 inches and 43 centimeters head circumference at his 4-month old visit. Flash back to Jan. 4 (birth): 7.6 pounds and 20 1/2 inches long and 34 centimeters circumference. Doctor says he's growing great! I really love his doctor, they all love him and care about him. Any concern I have had they always answer my question or get me in the same day. 

Weight gain: approx 9 pounds.

Height growth: approx 6 inches

Head circumference: 11 centimeters

I'm so proud!
